Reported 1 month ago

The redfish and trout bite has been pretty good. Topwater baits early and switching to cut bait under popping corks as the day goes on.

Summertime temps means sightcasting topwater plugs and spoons to large schools of redfish and that's exactly what we done today.

Mike and the crew were awesome! We headed out despite rough seas and they put us on fish! We brought in over 50 fish and it wore us out! Mike and Kyle were great and kept First mate Kody busy helping us out all day as the fish were coming in! He was wonderful! A+ and highly recommend them!

Our eco/island hopping/dolphin watching boat tour with Mike was amazing. He made sure we saw everything we came to see. My son saw dolphins in the wild up close for the first time. Each island stop was so cool seeing the different birds and water creatures. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. Highly recommend!!!
